'Well over £10,000' of machinery stolen in building site burglary off Shrewsbury-Welshpool road
Police are urging members of the public to be on the lookout for valuable machinery taken in a burglary from a house under construction.
Between 6pm on Sunday, June 11 and 7am Monday June 12 thieves stole items from a building site in Halfway House on the A458 between Shrewsbury and Welshpool.
Officers say the thieves stole a Bomag roller that was parked in front of the house, a Stihl saw, a laser level, a ring doorbell and a key safe.
A digger that was parked around the rear of the property was moved to the front and the forks were stolen.
Police say the stolen property is worth well over £10,000.
Investigating Officer DC Furey said: “We are appealing for anyone who has noticed any of the machinery dumped anywhere locally or who may have seen the machinery being moved, possibly on the back of a trailer.”
